Howard played Rhodey, Tony Stark’s best friend, in the first Iron Man movie and, since it was the only Iron Man movie I saw, I’d say he was pretty good. But, from the sounds of it, as the studio prepared for Iron Mans 2 through 187, Howard became less good.
It seemed he thought he deserved more money because he’s the star of the movie and … Wait. What? Terrence Howard wasn’t the star? Robert Downey, Jr. was? Well, then how come Howard began demanding more dough before he’d sign on for 2 through 187?
Ego. Kanye West sized ego. And the producers called his bluff and instead of giving him a hefty salary increase they gave his role to Don Cheadle — a much better actor by the way. But now Howard is coming out and blaming RDJr for what happened.
While being interviewed on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Howard claims he was instrumental in getting RDJr cast as Iron Man and that RDJr repaid him by taking the money he was owed for Iron Man 2 for himself, and not calling him back for 3 months:
“This is gonna get me in a lot of trouble, but who gives a f-ck. It turns out that the person that I helped become Iron Man, when it was time to re-up for the second one, took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me out. We did a three-picture deal. That means you did the deal ahead of time. A certain amount for the first one, a certain amount for the second, a certain amount for the third. They came to me with the second and said, ‘Look, we will pay you one-eighth of what we contractually had for you, because we think the second one will be successful with or without you.’ And I called my friend, that I helped get the first job, and he didn’t call me back for three months.”
How credible is Terrence Howard anyway? Not; if he had a three-picture deal and contract, then the studio would have had to use him, or pay him, so his whole ‘I came up with RDJr as Iron Man.’ Is ridic.
Terrence Howard. Really. Really? Sit.Down.
not a moral fiber in any of this bunch of losers.

ReplyDeleteI think Kendall is going to do porn before she turns twenty. So what's RayJ up to these days?
ReplyDeleteThe Kardashians are one species I wouldn't mind seeing go extinct. I just wish they would stop breeding. And wouldn't it be a treat to see Lindsay Lohan terrorize Gwyneth on a daily basis? I personally think it would be funny to watch.
ReplyDeleteI like Mariah but I do admit she is a fun target to throw darts at!
